    On Vacation - Would You Intervene?

    Crash_Cart replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I always get called if someone is sick

    Crash_Cart replied to Grogon's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno... I'm kinda split down the middle on this. Sure, staffing is her responsibility and perhaps she should even have already arranged to have someone on call from a float pool or something to...

    ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    Crash_Cart replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    And here's another example of the difference between the Navy and a private, for profit corporation. Whenever there's profits involved, there's clearly a financial incentive to engage in unsafe...

    Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    Crash_Cart replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Crash_Cart replied to love lilacs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Was wrapping up with a young ambulatory pt. with no physical limitations or other deficits whatsoever during a busy shift in the ER. Before her discharge she made a final request for a ginger ale, so...

    RN program work load

    Crash_Cart replied to Hopefulnurse1823's topic in General Students

    Your rate of success is directly proportional to the amount of time you spend on your studies. There's only 24 hours in a day. Spending too much time working at a job only reduces the amount of time...

    Day shift?

    Crash_Cart replied to Workitinurfava's topic in General Nursing

    Never liked days. You're always under the microscope and everything is a bureaucracy. There's always too many docs chasing everyone around looking to be pacified all day. They can't seem to do...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    Crash_Cart replied to Ciara4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like a vicious Krebs cycle. Silliness aside, if A&P were mathematics, it's like attempting to do algebra without any foundation or understanding whatsoever of exponents, or negative...

    Biology major changing to nursing major

    Crash_Cart replied to ilee00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm having difficulty interpreting the question, but I think the school would have their own policies how students, or their credits are transferred to other programs. I know in many cases, in order...

    Advisor is recommending Algebra

    Crash_Cart replied to MBucanek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, it's definitely on the HESI exam. But it's Algebra 1 and not really that hard though. It's mostly an exercise in order of operations, (PEMDAS) and breaking the Algebra question down into it's...

    Things you wish nursing school would have taught you?

    Crash_Cart replied to Clover19's topic in General Nursing

    What many people seem to forget is that graduating nursing school is only intended to prepare you for starting at the beginning. It's not intended to be the final conclusion.
